What is the sound decibels of this unit while running, say, around 1/2 load? Thanks

I'm sorry I can't find anything on that. It says it has 212CC engine. It also has automatic shutoff for low oil.

There is little difference in sound from idle to 1/2 load. In fact, it seemed this unit hardly noticed the load (which was a 1500+ watt kettle).

A hum that you can hear is normal. If it is loud, something is wrong. If it is noisy without a load connected, I would replace it. Are you sure you have not overloaded it?

Don't know--haven't had any problems or noises with mine. Call for tech support.

I have two sa 12's down firing in a box I custom built at 2.19 cu per sub with the ports meeting in the middle facing back. Powered by fosgate 1100a2. Its the loudest system I've heard out of a truck. It flexs my windows

This inverter generator has a decibel(dB) rating of 56 at no load and 65 at full load. For comparison, a 70 decibel noise level equates to 70 normal street noise or an average radio and 60 decibels equates to a normal conversation close up. This generator's decibel level at full load would fall in between those two noise ratings.by ProductExpert11May 30, 2012it has a switch for economy.

I am not sure on decibels but sometimes it will start at a very high pitched buzzing noise then eventually go silent. It's almost as if it's warming up. I do not recommend putting near outlets that seemed to set it off more. Once it gets going it is almost silent. More quiet than my tiny 8 inch fan.

Hello J. that high pitch sound is ok, however, my defuser didn't have that, so with that said, my guess is that it depends upon the fan that they put in the particular machine. If it bothers you though, by all means, Amazon is good at sending things back so they would gladly replace the unit, On my DoTERRA unit, it would start and then slow way down to almost nothing. I hope I've helped you.Sincerely: Ray R.

With my decibal meter I'm showing about 70 db about 2 ft from it and the unit is on high. Not sure my db meter is most accurate in the world. I have the fan in two unfinished spaces to keep air moving where I have mold problems...if I had it in an occupied space I might could tolerate it being on low.

not sure of exact decibel level, but seems to be in line with any other timers i have used. i find it great really.

I ran a 3/8 bolt up through my mounting board - when it is bolted down you have to look at the wheels to make sure it is running it runs that quiet - I really like this unit!!

don't know about "sone" sound measurement...my unit is as noisy as a small 6 inch fan...i.e., not very noisy

This is a noisy(double fans) amp. Don't get this one if you are seeking a quiet unit.

I have no way to measure the noise level. I have a set up with the generator in an open garage connected to a circuit running to the house that will run whatever I want that won't exceed the capacity of the generator. There are generators that will run quieter but they are much more expensive.

There is a low level fan noise with a slight rattle if I put it up to my ear. I do not have a drive installed because I have a 4TB NAS attached via ethernet cables. The unit is not on my desk . It is on an interior window ledge somewhat in the middle of the the house so sound not detectable.

No idea, check your install and make sure it's well supported, mine has no noise like that.

I can't tell you how many decibels, but is no louder than water boiling on the stove. I am very pleased with mine.

Hi. On my unit sound is very minimal but you must see steam and very solid one. Your unit probably broken as mine after a month of usage. I would recommend you to return it.
